The best sleep I've ever had. The location was great, you could walk everywhere the rooms were amazing, staff was friendly and good Lord that comfortable bed just made the trip. It's been a while since I've been so happy with a hotel! The restaurant down the street Lil Dizzy's had some delicious food.

Very quaint...nice big bathtub. Details were taken care of ..beds are SOOO comfy. Staff is very accommodating. While the bottub doesn't have jets, it was relaxing nonetheless. I'd stay in the main house next time to be closer to pool area.

The hotel was a lovely old classic New Orleans house in the French quarter. The room felt a bit run down but it was beautiful and had big wraparound balcony out front. The rooms were a great size and the staff were lovely and helpful. Overall, good value for money.

Great old New Orleans property. We really enjoyed our stay. Be prepared to walk some stairs if you are on the 2nd floor. The property was built in the 1890’s, so expect a creak or two from the floors and not the super polished room you might get at newer hotel. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Great pool area. Can’t wait to stay again!

The room was odd. The door didn’t close well and would open up randomly. One of the beds felt like it was just put the the room without thought about size of the space. It was pretty cramped in there. The hotel itself was fine. Staff was sweet. The room was just weird.

The room was cute. The staff was very friendly. Easy walking to trolley and French Quarter. Bus stop right outside hotel. The only downside is that we didn't feel comfortable swimming in the evening because the lights weren't working.

We had a suite and there was plenty of room. We enjoyed the sitting area. The pool and hot tub area were very nice. The check in staff was so friendly. We loved it was historical. Be aware it is historical and although there have been upgrades, it is an older home. Overall it was great and we would return.
